GARBAGE
band11.jpg


Just two years after the brilliant Butch Vig produced the Pumpkin's masterpiece Siamese Dream and four years after the loved and hated Nevermind he helped form a group that had a great dose of success in it's own right. Butch would be the drummer for the band and was joined initially by two former members of previous band (Spoon) he'd been in and had added a sexy vixen he saw from a band called Angelfish, Shirley Manson. Here's some samples of Angelfish:

The group was boldly called Garbage. Garbage was a mix of urban tinged moody alternative electronica which was given a sex drive by Shirley Manson. They had two buzzworthy singles before the single Stupid Girl brought them mainstream success on their self titled debut:

I'm not going to lie! The singles off of this are still my favorite but the album is solid and flows well for a great listen. Here are my favorite tracks:

The Singles:

Re: "The Official" Garbage Thread

There's a fair few Garbage tracks I like, although I don't have any albums. Along with Stupid Girl, this is one of my favourites:

Same, but I'll definitely be looking into them more, they are grungy and creepy, but still catchy.. that's a winning combo for me:grinthumb

Great write up BTW:D

Re: "The Official" Garbage Thread

Thanks for all the responses guys and sorry for the delayed reply! judging from the replies you guys at least liked the Sophomore album:

Version 2.0

Too be honest to talk about a change in style would be irrelevant because they pretty much sallied forth with their brand of sound! It produced a lot of great tracks though! My favorites were:




Coincidentally I tend to like the singles best again! I particularly like the Beach Boys sampling Push It! :grinthumb

Great stuff here!
Perhaps my favorite from 2.0:



and I have to agree with the general consensus, Shirley is one sexy woman! :grinthumb

Re: "The Official" Garbage Thread

First 2 were very good. I'm waiting to see the review on Beautiful Garbage. I didn't think it was near as good as the others. In fact, it turned me off so much that I haven't followed them since. Do they have a 4th album or even 5th? Still love Shirley Manson's voice though.
